Hey ya'll I'm from TX! I have my surgery date on Oct 1st & I couldn't be more scared. I've been reading on these forums for a while but decided I needed more support so I created a profile. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow & so I guess it's just really starting to set in. I'm young so my greatest concern is going to be the excess Skin, so starting out I'm about 60 lbs away from my goal weight, so I'm hoping with alot of working out that will not be too much of an issue, but I just feel like I haven't asked enough questions, or don't know enough....I guess i'm just stressing out...

Well here I am! & Good luck to everyone!!!

Welcome! Good luck on your upcoming surgery. This is a great place to meet other people and learn from their experiences. Hope the hurricane missed you part of TX.

Also from TX - just had my Lap-band done on 9/11 (obviously not superstitious) and doing great. Preparation and information will help more than anything to get ready. Make sure you have your mind completely at peace about the procedure. Make sure you're ready to change everything about how and when you eat. Ask lots of questions and be ready to go on 10/1. We're excited for you and know you'll do great.

Hi and welcome! :thumbup: My orig. surgery date was supposed to be Oct. 1 but it got moved to the 29th. I'm right there with you. Now that there's only 12 days to go I'm extremely nervous. :frown: Good luck to you!
